When in a window the up/down scrolling bar will not show up unless I first hit the up or down arrow on the wireless Apple keyboard. Otherwise the scroll bar for up or down will not show and if I do not use it right away when it shows it will disappear again. It started shortly after I upgraded to Monterey 12.2.1 and was in Safari 15.3.

Open System Preferences > General. Change "Show scroll bars:" to Always.

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
I tried your idea, but it didn't fix the scroll bar issue. Another person suggested I check preferences which you and most others probably figured I already did...unfortunately I had not noticed it. Thank you for replying though, it is appreciated!!
What a simple solution that I couldn't figure out on my own Thank you. I will be 79 next week and have owned Mac since my first one in late 1985, and my how things have changed!!!! Again, thanks.
You're welcome and happy birthday.
Oh, to be 79 again.
Lost scroll bar arrow
